No Oregon Sales Tax Or Labels On Genetically Modified Foods

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon lawmakers don't appear to be interested in asking voters to create a sales tax or requiring labels on genetically modified foods. Those bills and dozens of others failed to clear a key deadline in the Legislature last week. Plenty of other ideas are still alive, including gun-control bills, a bill allowing marijuana dispensaries and one banning suction-dredge mining.
